Introduction

The Shark Clean Sense Air Purifier has a hard protective shell that keeps its components safe. This is a prerequisite guide for disassembling the device to get to certain parts and can be used as a guide to replace the shell.

Tools

Step 1

Turn off and unplug the air purifier before beginning.
Unscrew the one 1.2 cm screw holding the grate at the top with a TR10 Torx screwdriver.
Use a prying tool to carefully pry along the outer edges to disengage the inner retaining clips.
These retaining clips can be difficult to disengage, but releasing two clips on the same side should allow you to easily remove the grate.
Remove the grate.

Step 2

Remove the two 1.2 cm screws with a TR10 Torx screwdriver.
Almost all screws are the same length (around 1 cm). The main difference is the bit that's used to remove them.

Step 3

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four 1 cm screws.
This will make the fan holder slightly loose, but this will not be a problem until you open the case completely.

Step 4

Flip the device over and unscrew the bottom by turning it clockwise.
Remove the filter.

Step 5

Remove the five 1 cm a Phillips screwdriver.
Unscrew the four 1.2 cm screws with a TR10 Torx screwdriver.
The ring will not be hard to remove, but be careful on reassembly. Make sure that the power connector is properly seated when putting the ring back on.

I just took my model apart (purchased in 2023) and for this step mine only had T10 1.2cm screws on the shell seams (I have 5 total — 4 for the seams and 1 that holds down the top grate). The rest of mine are Phillips 1cm screws. Just in case anyone with my model follows these steps to put everything back together!

Step 6

Remove the four 1 cm screws that secure the fan housing.

Step 7

Make sure that you are pulling up on the side that allows, as pictured in the red box.
Gently slide the cases up and down, or hold one and gently pull up on the opposite side (Down on the left, up on the right for this picture).
The whole case will start to separate and the black disc will come loose. This is normal.

Step 8

Gently open the case outwards as there are fragile electronics inside.
Remove the fan housing.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Thank you for this! My air purifier was making noise and I couldn’t find any guides to take it apart. This helped me clean it out and get rid of the noise! :-)
